Step by Step Towards QJL All-Star: Sports and Analytical Unit Experts Visited Shymkent

The specialists closely observed the game between Ordabasy and Shakhter, evaluating the performances of players previously marked as promising. To assess the young footballers’ readiness — both physical and psychological — for the All-Star Match, interviews were held, after which the Unit experts developed tailored support strategies for each.

In addition, League representatives held meetings with coaches who will be part of the QJL All-Star team — Iskander Geimat and Igor Soloshenko.

«These meetings helped align approaches and messaging, as well as assess team dynamics and interaction potential. Particular attention was paid to the psychological aspect of preparation — a key element in building players’ confidence, cohesion, and inner stability ahead of a major match», said Tamara Akhmetali, Sports and Analytical Unit expert on mental training.

A media crew led by Temirlan Orynbayev documented key moments of the trip — including a visit to the home of Ordabasy U18 captain Zhanali Yesenaliev. The experts spoke with both the young footballer and his parents to showcase how an athlete's personality grows and lives beyond the pitch.

The Sports and Analytical Unit also held several meetings with the management of FC Ordabasy. The sides discussed prospects for cooperation and the development of local youth potential.

«Preparations for the Atlético match are in full swing: the team is fully mobilized, all objectives in Shymkent were achieved, and every step brings us closer to the goal. The QJL All-Star project is not just about football. It's a story of belief, openness, inner strength, and a shared journey. We thank all participants for their contributions and inspiration», summarized Tamara Akhmetali.
